Former Gubernatorial Candidate Stephen Cloobeck Arrested in L.A.
Los Angeles County — Stephen Cloobeck, a prominent real estate developer and former candidate for governor, was arrested on Tuesday in Los Angeles County.
He was booked at the West Hollywood station on $300,000 bail and released the same afternoon.
The arrest was on suspicion of attempting to prevent or dissuade a witness from testifying.
Cloobeck exited the governor's race in November and endorsed Eric Swalwell, who later resigned amid a sex scandal.
